A wonderful comedy just in me to treat your Valentine! THE CEMETERY CLUB tells the story of three Jewish widows that meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida and are guilt‐stricken when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart. Friendship, marriage, love, and second chances are all a part of this hilarious and poignant look at life.
Valley Performing Arts brings this heartwarming comedy to our stage just in me to share it with your sweetheart! The wonderful relationship of these three women will inspire you and this funny look at a slice‐of‐life from their perspective will keep you laughing from start to finish. Come join the FUN at VPA!
